WIN! (A Self-Help Masterclass & Musical Fever Dream)

🌟 A Triumphant Tour de Force: Alisha Gaddis’ “WIN” at the Hollywood Fringe 🌟 From the moment Alisha Gaddis steps onto the bare stage in WIN, you’re no longer in a theater—you’re inside a living, breathing soul on the brink of transformation. In a blisteringly brave and wildly funny one-woman show, Gaddis delivers a knockout performance that is as emotionally raw as it is masterfully crafted. Her writing is a marvel—sharp as a tack, heartbreakingly personal, and laugh-out-loud funny in the way only truth can be. She dances between vulnerability and ferocity, between characters and confessions, with the ease of a veteran performer and the urgency of someone who must tell this story. This isn’t just a show—it’s a catharsis. As an actor... full review

I loved this show! Alisha has won a jaw dropping number of things throughout her life (she describes the actual, tangible amount of awards, and I don’t want to spoil it, but uh it’s a LOT). She explores, through this truly funny, extremely silly, and sweet show, her insatiable need to overachieve and where it comes from. And she illustrates how toxic perfectionism can be, and how sometimes you can be the best at everything except loving and accepting yourself. It made me examine my own struggles with perfectionism, how that need originated, and how I can spare my own kids from that.... full review

Honesty and humanity dressed in sequins with a side of tap dancing? YES, PLEASE. This show was absolutely electric from start to finish. My friends and I were belly laughing from the beginning (and may have teared up a bit here and there too). The energy was through the roof and while genuinely laugh out loudable, it really had some beautiful tender moments too. Huge props to director Director Rebekka Johnson helming the ebbs and flows of the show - marrying comedy, fever pitch and the war between genuine human frailty and epic success - was brilliantly navigated. The performance by Alisha Gaddis was nothing short of stellar. She gave of her life experiences with such generosity, the audience felt that collective "we're being let int... full review
